Condition Report*: Presents very well. Mild toning throughout sheets appearing slightly heavier along edges. Some minor undulations throughout sheets, likely due in part to age; a few sheets with mild creasing along the right edge. Some sheets with collage elements present with stray adhesive around elements. A few areas of additional toning from gilt collage elements transferred to other sheets; an inherent vice of the medium. Some water stains in the fuchsia inter-leaf on the backsides of the pig; an inherent vice of the watercolor used in the pig. A few negligible marks/spots of foxing scattered throughout sheets, do not appear to majorly impact image areas. End sheets present with more moderate toning likely due in part to materials used for the cover. The entire artist's book bound as issued including the inter-leafing of fuchsia tissue, end, and title pages. Bound in original fuchsia buckram boards. Unframed.
